About the game
In 2032 an Earth that knows only peace is forced to relearn the art of war. Twenty years have passed since the population of Earth did a fine job of destroying nearly everything in one final struggle for power by the politicians and military leaders.

The value story
Across all 124 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.74 at 75 percent off still sits 48 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 46 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 87 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Battlezone 98 Redux ($19.99, scores 71) beats it on value, while it beats Red Faction II ($9.99, scores 2).
What players say

Navigating the waters feels like cursed fishing with giant fish - wanna swim but everything around seems like evil on a giant steamroller. But I hold on and believe in victory!
Unfortunately i cannot recommend the Steam version of this game if you want to use Steam integrated functions. For some, to me unknown, reason the game on Steam is forced to run via its launcher with forced Win98 compat. settings while confirmed working option is up to WinXPSP3. This causes number of problems ranging from no startup param. support (meaning no windowed mode), no higher screen res than 1280x1024 and...
